August 2008. The diving bird known as the common murre lives on top of the enormous "Monterey Bay Habitat" tank.

They do dive down for the fish, as it is a huge tank and there is underwater viewing. It's a fabulous exhibit on the bottom, but in my two visits I've personally never seen the birds underwater.
